PONS PORRATA, Laura María et al. Image diagnosis of the urether tumor in an elderly. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.12, pp. 1798-1803. ISSN 1029-3019.

ABSTRACT The case report of a 71 year-old patient, admitted to "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital from Santiago de Cuba, to whom a tumor in the left distal urether was diagnosed by means of image tests, which caused retherohydronephrosis, is presented. He had so many complications in the postsurgical period that he died due to that cause. The result of necropsy confirmed the presence of intestinal ischemic necrosis, mesenteric thrombosis, aortic atheromatosis, urether transitional carcinoma infiltrating the bladder, trombotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, lung tromboembolism and hypertrophy, as well as global heart dilation. 

Keywords : elderly; urether tumor; intestinal necrosis; image tests; surgery.
